Today's Notes 5/20/21: The Division, New Games & More

Good morning everyone,

Well it's one of those 'up early but turns out there are no work assignments' type of days. But I took advantage of this yesterday by clearing out a bunch of stuff. Going to have to figure out the best way to dispose of some old VGA monitors that date back to the 90s. 

Anyway last night's stream featured Tom Clancy's The Division, where it was more of a casual night, just picking off enemies. Big thanks to Iceman for joining in on the fun. We did clear out the area of the game listed as Gramercy, and near as I can tell there are five more areas left in the game. Did not pick up any achievements last night related to the Division, but there are 7 story based achievements left and several related to collectables, so these are gradual over the course of game play. But we have some clips from last night for you to check out.

Twitch Clips: Bang! You're Dead! And Bang... You're Dead Too!

Twitch Clips:  I'll just hide right here... huddling the car for comfort

Of course all was not lost on the achievement front, as I did a lot of grinding in Mortal Kombat 11, to the point I'm on the doorstep of getting the Tower Champion achievement which I should be able to knock out tomorrow. Still we got one achievement last night. 

1. Have We Met: Equip 5 different character intros

That said, I am considering doing at least three Mortal Kombat 11 streams, one for chasing the achievement for playing online matches and two based on the story mode and Aftermath DLC (granted Aftermath does not have any achievements associated with it). 

We added a couple of old game games to my collection, after coming across www.j2games.com, which is a retro game dealer here in New Jersey. What was added was Forsaken, Triple Play 97, Triple Play 98, Power Rangers: Time Force and Power Rangers: Dino Thunder. The first four games were for the original PlayStation, while the fifth game was for the PlayStation 2. I'm also on the hunt for a few other odd gems. 

Today's Fitness Boxing 2 session was solid, a big focus on lower body (double step, front back, and left right step combos), and it lasted about 30 minutes. We're up to 49 points out of 100 for Martina's Best Friend achievement. Considering how wacky this week has been work wise, because we did an extended work out on Tuesday we're kind of on-par to equal last week's total out put.

Today is Thursday, which means the lead off for tonight's stream will be Star Trek Online, and I'm not 100% sure what will be second game we're going to feature. I could go several ways, with a lot of options, but figuring out what will be good contrast to STO is always an interesting challenge.

And on that note we'll see you later over on twitch.tv/fredcasden!
